Development of the A-Grit Scale: Measuring Persistence in The Academic Context
Get PDFThe intense academic competition and increasing learning demands in Indonesia highlight the need for a culturally and educationally appropriate measure of academic perseverance, or academic grit. This study aims to develop and validate A-GRIT, an instrument designed to assess Indonesian students’ academic grit through three key dimensions: Passion, Self-Control, and Growth Mindset. A total of 395 students aged 12 to 22 participated in the study, recruited through accidental sampling. Both exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the three-factor structure of A-GRIT, with a KMO value of 0.833 and acceptable goodness-of-fit indices (RMSEA < 0.05, CFI > 0.90, GFI > 0.95). Reliability testing yielded a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.821, indicating high internal consistency. These findings support A-GRIT as a valid and reliable instrument for assessing academic grit among Indonesian students and provide valuable insights for educational interventions aimed at enhancing student perseverance and academic achievement
Motivation and Partner Preferences: Key Drivers of Willingness to Spend Money among Dating App Users
Get PDFIn the current digital era, the pursuit of romantic relationships has significantly shifted toward online platforms, with dating applications emerging as a prevalent medium. Individuals engage with these apps for a variety of motivations, ranging from entertainment to the pursuit of meaningful connections. Dating apps offer numerous features that allow users to search for partners based on specific personal preferences. Users who are actively seeking partners often demonstrate a willingness to invest financially in the development of these relationships. Distinct from previous studies, this research explicitly explores the relationship between users’ motivations, partner preferences, and their willingness to spend money within the context of dating apps. A total of 1,635 young adults aged 20 to 34 were surveyed through social media platforms, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling (SEM). The results reveal that motivation significantly influences partner preferences, and both variables—motivation and partner preferences—significantly predict users’ willingness to spend money. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of behavioral patterns in digital romantic engagement and offer insights into how dating applications may shape financial decision-making in intimate relationships. This study advances the discourse on digital intimacy and consumer behavior by highlighting psychological and relational factors that drive financial investment in online dating contexts. Furthermore, it provides practical implications for individuals seeking to better understand and regulate their motivations and financial behaviors when engaging with dating applications
"Oh Father, I Miss You So": The Emotional Burden of Fatherlessness among Male Adolescents
Get PDFThe absence of a father figure, often termed fatherlessness, has profound implications for adolescent psychological development, particularly in the regulation and expression of emotion. This qualitative study aims to explore how fatherless adolescent boys regulate their emotions and derive meaning from their experiences of paternal absence. Three male participants aged 18–22 who had experienced fatherlessness due to death or parental separation were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis as proposed by Braun and Clarke. The analysis identified four core themes: (1) Negative Emotions Due to Father Absence, including sadness, social comparison, and emotional instability; (2) Emotion Regulation through Avoidance and Distraction, such as engaging in sports, digital entertainment, and isolation; (3) Emotional Expression and Maladaptive Coping, including substance use, aggression, and spiritual reflection; and (4) Meaning-Making and Identity Reconstruction, in which participants described increased independence, self-reliance, and the aspiration to be a source of pride for their remaining parent, typically the mother. The findings reveal that while fatherless adolescents exhibit emotional vulnerability, they also show potential for resilience and post-traumatic growth when supported by meaningful relationships and personal coping mechanisms. It is recommended that psychological interventions for fatherless youth include emotion-focused therapy, cognitive restructuring, and mentorship programs to foster positive male identity development and emotional well-being.
Enhancing Refactoring Prediction at the Method-Level Using Stacking and Boosting Models
Get PDFRefactoring software code is crucial for developers since it enhances code maintainability and decreases technical complexity. The existing manual approach to refactoring demonstrates restricted scalability because of its requirement for substantial human intervention and big training information. A method-level refactoring prediction technique based on meta-learning uses classifier stacking and boosting and Lion Optimization Algorithm (LOA) for feature selection. The evaluation of the proposed model used four Java open source projects namely JUnit, McMMO, MapDB, and ANTLR4 showing exceptional predictive results. The technique successfully decreased training data necessities by 30% yet generated better prediction results by 10–15% above typical models to deliver 100% accuracy and F1 scores on DTS3 and DTS4 datasets. The system decreased incorrect refactoring alert counts by 40% which lowered the amount of needed developer examination
Enhancing academic resilience through culturally integrated cognitive behavioral therapy and expressive writing: a study of batak university students
Get PDFThis study aims to determine the effectiveness of integrating Batak cultural values into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) incorporating expressive writing to enhance academic resilience among university students. Using a single-subject A-B-A experimental design, the research involved five final-year students, measuring changes in academic resilience before, during, and after the intervention. The culturally infused CBT sessions integrated key Batak values such as kekerabatan (kinship), hamajuon (perseverance), and hasangapon (honor) alongside expressive writing exercises. Results showed a significant improvement in academic resilience, emotional regulation, adaptive help-seeking behaviors, and cultural identity reinforcement. These findings underscore the importance of culturally relevant therapeutic interventions in fostering academic resilience. Based on these results, it is recommended that future studies explore the long-term impact of such interventions and assess their effectiveness among diverse cultural groups to enhance their broader applicability in educational and psychological settings

Assessing mental health literacy and its association with help-seeking behavior among youth participants
Get PDFApproximately 15.5 million adolescents experience mental health problems, yet only 2.6% seek professional help. Without appropriate intervention, these difficulties may progress into more severe disorders, making help-seeking behavior critical for ensuring timely support. Youth Integrated Health Posts (Posyandu Remaja) serve as community-based platforms that promote adolescent health, including programs aimed at improving mental health literacy. However, low help-seeking behavior among youth attending these centers remains a persistent concern. This study aimed to examine the association between mental health literacy and help-seeking behavior among adolescents enrolled in Posyandu Remaja in Surakarta. Using purposive sampling, 114 adolescents participated in the study. Data were collected using adapted questionnaire-based scales assessing help-seeking behavior (α = 0.801) and mental health literacy (α = 0.528). Analysis was conducted using chi-square correlation tests in SPSS 25. The results indicated no statistically significant association between mental health literacy and help-seeking behavior among the participants, χ² = 0.631 (N = 114, p = 0.427). These findings suggest that improving mental health literacy alone may be insufficient to increase help-seeking tendencies among adolescents. Health service providers are encouraged to develop more comprehensive strategies beyond literacy-enhancing interventions. Future research may consider larger sample sizes, refined measurement tools, and the exploration of additional factors that may influence help-seeking behavior among youth in similar community settings
